"Cheeba" [ft. Ammbush, Main Attrakionz, and the Jacka]

Artists:

Resembling close to a cult-rap version of the Re-Up Gang, DaVinci, Main Attraktionz, and relative unknowns Ammbush and the Jacka go to work on "Cheeba" over some seasonably morose bass stabs and cloudy vibrations, courtesy of producer Keyes. Da Vinci continues his recent tear, easily winning the technical battle, and Main Attrakionz will always sound good over clammy beats-- but the real surprise here is Ammbush. Though his rapping skills aren't worth a damn, the Oakland artist is reminiscent of Rosco P. Coldchain, the Re-Up Gang associate who always worked well with assists. In his no-nonsense opening verse, Ammbush quickly references Mario Andretti, Freddie Krueger, Biggie, Jason Voorhees, and Clark Kent, with the kind of eclectic icon worship that should appeal to fans of the song’s titular escape route.
